With today's [1]KDE Plasma 6.7 beta release there has been a surprising amount of interest in the new revival of Plasma Big Screen as the TV-sized UI for Plasma. I've been trying it out today and it has worked out rather well, a very smooth experience, and in good shape for making its debut in next month's Plasma 6.7 release.
Plasma Big Screen is the large UI format for the Plasma desktop with a convenient experience for those using it as a living room PC. And it's just in time for the upcoming Steam Machine from Valve.

Applications launch full-screen mode and it's a very straight-forward workflow.
[3]
The Plasma Big Screen UI itself was very fluid and no performance issues or rendering problems when testing on an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series "Strix Point" system.
[4]
The KDE settings and other elements adapt well for the big screen UI.
[5]
For my testing I was using a KDE Neon Unstable Edition build. At first upon installing the current media the desktop was just crashing at start when hitting the Welcome Center. Once switching to a VT and upgrading all packages and rebooting, it was a seamless experience after that initial trouble.
[6]
It was very easy using the KDE Plasma Big Screen without any prior usage.
[7]
Overall I was satisfied with the initial experience of using the Big Screen interface on Plasma 6.7 Beta.
